All our creations adhere to the rules of the trade as set out in the specifications document entitled 'Recommendations for the design of permanent textile-covered structures', which was drafted in 1997 by the professionals of the textile architecture industry. It was amended in 1998 and then again in 2007 in order to guarantee that our customers benefit from optimal quality and safety.
